Saint Arnold Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout Cask @ Black Star Co-op

 

Black Star Co-op is cracking open a cask of Saint Arnold Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout tomorrow (June 8). Get there if you can. We had a pint at the Draught House last Friday and it was really good. Chris was picking up coconut notes and came to the conclusion that we must have got the Malibu Rum Aged Imperial Stout cask. I wasn't gettin' that.

De Proef Brouwerij and Terrapin Monstre Rouge Keg

Damn, that is a hideous label. But who cares about the label when you are drinking from a keg. Draught House has (had?) one and it was tapped on Saturday. It was the only keg of the stuff sold in Texas, so you better get there today to try some.

Saint Arnold DR #11 Unleashed Tomorrow

Another Divine Tuesday is happening tomorrow. I had a sample of it Friday. It's really good. I'm thinking it's a 2-3 six pack purchase. BAers are split, a lot of hatin. I guess DIPAs are not special enough to warrant a DR release. Fine, more for us. Reminded me a lot of one of my favorite DIPAs—Great Divide Hercules. Creamy, piney.

Saint Arnold DR #11 - 3/29/11

Cool. So next week I'll be drinking this.

Divine Reserve No. 11, a double IPA, is being released on Tuesday, March 29. If you are a hophead, this is your beer. We used over 1,000 lbs of a combination of Simcoe, Centennial and Columbus hops to brew this beer. The final result is a wonderfully hoppy, 9% ABV, 76 IBU (as lab tested) double IPA. We put the "as lab tested" note on there as paper calculations give much higher IBU results, but the bittering compounds in hops tend to start reaching their solubility limits around this level.

Finally. Bring it on. First release is the dubbel this month, one of my favorite styles.

Barrel aged IPA, I want. And Billy's has it.
